    Is It Hard For You To Cry?

    Well, not sure how helpful crying is, have cried in the past, but other than two red eyes it really did not help with the trauma anyways. Secondly, there are bastards out there, being stalked by past coworkers, past security guards, and cops (yes, you see that right, by cops) that are trying to...

    Confused About Diagnostic Criteria

    Have never heard about generational trauma, new to me. But any professional that has to deal with traumatic incidents, including helping victims that are faced with trauma is at risk of getting PTSD too. I have always wondered how common that is: do you guys think that therapists are prone to...

    Insight or excuses for isolation?

    I cherish solitude, also know that from most people it is foolish to expect respect, caring, or true friendship. Once someone learns that then that someone will only accept 100 percent sincerity, that is where I am at. As soon as I detect anything less I walk the other way......

    News Dull Jobs Really Do Numb The Mind

    True that, that is why I like to exercise body and mind when I get home. Most jobs can be dull, but I try not to get boxed into a corner and take on responsibilities in areas that interest me, don't like it when someone thinks they can just shove that worker here and there. I want to decide what...

    I need help - panic attack in response to loud music & sexy girls at club

    Your friend is having strong reactions to these situations, one immediate reaction would be to remove him from the crowd, let him calm down. He needs help in figuring out what exactly it is to make him react that way, can be the noise, too many people, sensory overload, panic attack or signs of...

    Getting Rid Of Notes Written In Therapy

    That does seem weird. The bills are a responsibility of the patient, I always want to make sure I pay my bills, personal pride to handle your finances is something that you are proud of. She is trying to take that away for some reason. In your case I would draft a legal document, in which the...

    Constant Fear And Checking?

    Of course, very common symptoms of PTSD, after all past trauma will be a constant vigilance reminder. It is tough, but it helps us to avoid future trauma, because vigilance results in alertness. I was confronted with a very dangerous predator not too long ago, figured it out in a couple of days...

    Has Anyone Come Out Of A Controlling Relationship And They Feel Awkward Etc All The Time?

    Before PTSD I was a people person, now Iam very different, not a loss most of the time. You have now just eliminated toxic people in your life, it will take a while for you to find yourself. Give yourself some time and you will find out who you are and what you want.

    How Can People Help?

    Does your school have psychologists on staff? Your teachers want to help but dont have enough knowledge to assist you. You deserve a professional that is versed in such issues.

    Trust

    Well, that trust has to be earned. Only one person in this world has my entire trust. I trust my own son only to a certain degree. I have to trust in coworkers in a certain degree, but that is forced trust. I have learned that real trust has to do with complete unselfishness. I thought that...

    General So Confused.....i Left

    Yeah, agree with that asessment, some patients get lost in PTSD, it is not them that leave, it is actually them not being able to tolerate this illness and they try to run away from it. The alcohol and drug issue need to be treated, that is holding him back big time. The mother problem could...

    Conservative Christian Parents Think Ptsd Is A Punishment

    Oho, that is a good one. My dad abused my mom her whole life, he is such a good Christian, goes to church every week, sings those songs that do not mean anything to him, the great pretender. There are other good Christians in my family who know what he did to me, who know about the abuse and who...

    Childhood Neglect, Abuse Or Am I Over Reacting Over Nothing?

    Agreed, that is emotional abuse for sure, a child relies on the parent for daily care

    Toxic Work Vs No Work

    I think the best thing that can be done is to start researching job positions early. Your situation is difficult, no parent would want to rip their child out of school. I always think too though: new workplaces are not necessarily better, can be worse too......

    How Would You React To This? Suicide Prevention Related

    I don't think you are over reacting there, makes complete sense. The child really did loose a friend to suicide, now that school wants your poor child to watch a movie about suicide? Why don't they start to suggest to make the holocaust survivors watch movies about death camps in World War 2...

    Lip-biting-any Others Out Here?

    Yep, get that too whenever I am harassed about crimes I have absolutely no control over. I try to steer my thoughts away from the crime then and away from the people who are harassing innocent victims.

    Bye Bye To Any Help!

    Oh, that is horrific, why would the doctor not wait to make an out of pocket payment arrangement? Most doctors are not poor people, or are they so afraid they get in trouble for not following certain guidelines? One would think an out of pocket arrangement could have worked..... So sorry for...

    I'm Freaking Out

    Totally understand, such work places are common and many times they add rules that are not really rules. Those so called rules are put in place by people who are so power hungry they must dream about it night. Seems to be a common trait, weird. Work in two places, one with female workers who...

    I'm So Disappointed

    First you have to do your research and concentrate on your health while you have it. For instance what would that disease do to you if you contracted it? Secondly, you might want to ask a physician what such a disease entails. Once you have that disease there is no turning back. Then if you...

    Every Time I Start To Trust My S/o...

    Sorry, but he is getting therapy? The one that is out of the blue cruel to you? I was stuck with someone like that, cruelty out of nowhere, believe me that is someone that enjoys torturing you. And the best psychologist can not heal a psychopath. It took me many years to realize that my ex...

    Feeling Genuinely Deceived...

    Oh boy, where to start. I am a female, and gotta say both of these females are not doing the right thing. One of them is talking to other guys and the other one is moving in on you while you are struggling to stay faithful within a marriage? The second female, the friend, might be much worse...
